“ The Gangsta’ of Soul”
Take a drive with Greg Hester through HIS world – a place where booze comes in a paper bag and everyone has a nickname. A world of colorful characters who dance the circus dance of life each day while the rest of us make our way from the city out to our safe suburban homes. As we ignore their gaze, they peer at us in our fancy little boxes and wonder who we are – hustlers, killers, or thieves. Because they know the score, and they’re not trading the joy and the rhythm for a shiny and safe life.
Truly great music instantly changes the context, transporting the listener to the artist’s world. Greg Hester manages to do just that with Hustlers, Killers, and Thieves. Just a few notes in, you’re in that city with all of its dirty glory.
"Hustlers, Killers & Thieves", features Ivan Neville & The James Brown Band including Fred Wesley, Fred Thomas, Emcee Danny Ray & Legendary Guitarist Keith Jenkins. HKT was produced & recorded in Nashville by Eric
McConnell ( Loretta Lynn, Todd Snider ).
